Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart

What is your future? now we have to part

Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away

Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay

Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose

Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes

In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret

"Please make way for Rose" you can hear them say

All my life I shall remember

Oriental music and you in my arms

Perfumed flowers in your tresses

Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms

Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes

Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies

I must cross the seas again and never see you more

'way back to my home on a distant shore

........

玫瑰玫瑰我愛妳

玫瑰啊玫瑰！我愛妳愛得心痛

我們必須分手，妳將何去何從

當汽船離去，看到妳在碼頭上

馬來亞之花，我不能留下

讓路吧！讓美麗的東方玫瑰通過

不論她去那裡，人們都蜂擁圍繞

無論坐黃包車過街，或在酒館裡

都會聽到他們，為妳開路的聲音

一輩子記住東方音樂及懷抱的妳

妳的髮辮散發出鮮花般芬芳

蓮香飄送 棕櫚搖曳

玫瑰啊玫瑰，我愛妳那雙杏眼

熱帶藍天下那苗條身影

我必須遠渡重洋，無法再見妳

回到我遠方彼岸的家

〈玫瑰玫瑰我愛你〉（Rose, Rose I Love You）是一九三○至四○年代，我國音樂才子陳歌辛的創作。一九五一年，美國歌手弗蘭基萊恩（Frankie Laine）改成英文版翻唱〈Rose Rose I Love You〉，在美國迅速走紅，曾高居排行榜第三名。歌詞典雅優婉，以玫瑰比喻紅顏雖苦命，對愛情與人生卻執著堅強。
